Relationships can be messy, especially when they end in separation or divorce. One harsh reality is how women often fight dirty when hurt, betrayed, or wronged in a relationship. Emotions take over, and bitterness can be passed down to children, creating a cycle of anger and resentment.
The Tonto Dikeh case illustrates how women might block access to children and paint the other parent as irresponsible, especially when financially independent. Children caught in the middle often side with the mother, fueled by anger and limited understanding of the situation.
But it’s not just about women. Both parents can play the blame game, sharing grievances with children to gain sympathy. The truth is, no one is justified before God, and holding onto unforgiveness only leads to emptiness and destroyed relationships.
The story of ‘Omije Oju Mi’ teaches us that death is the ultimate leveller. We’ll all stand before God one day, and our attempts to justify ourselves will fall short. Instead of seeking vengeance, we should strive to forgive and let go.
Unforgiveness is like a little fox that destroys the vine, leaving us empty and bitter. God is the God of vengeance; let Him handle it. Rather than focusing on the wrongs done to us, let’s examine ourselves and submit to God’s justice.
Let’s break the cycle of bitterness and choose forgiveness, not just for others, but for ourselves .
